‘Whitby Farm’ idyllic waterside retreat Positioned on 1.87 hectares of lightly wooded and gently undulating waterside land with expansive views of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and South Bruny, 'Whitby Farm' is a remarkable lifestyle retreat offering peace and privacy in southern Tasmania. Comprising a mudbrick home built in the traditional Santa Fe Revival style, surrounded by a fenced orchard and mature trees and a secluded sandy beach accessed via a short track, for swimming and beach combing or to launch a kayak or paddle board, making this a truly idyllic property. The floorplan is simple offering enormous potential. The lower floor accommodates open plan dining and kitchen accessed off the entry foyer, with a split-level living room adjacent. The living room has a cosy fireplace with Santa Fe chimney, built-in seating, French doors opening onto a timber deck, and a window seat currently configured as an incredibly relaxing day bed with filtered water views. A bedroom and combined bathroom and laundry facilities complete the floorplan on this level. The WC is currently outdoors, but modernisation of the bathroom could include installation inside. The spiral staircase to the upper level reveals a generously proportioned flexible living space with polished Tasmanian timber floors, which could be modified into a series of rooms to suit the next owner's accommodation requirements, if required. Outside, the home is surrounded by natives, macrocarpas, an old oak tree, and a cottage garden shrubbery. An alfresco paved seating area with a Santa Fe styled open fire complete with chimney and nearby 'fire bath', from which to relax and enjoy an immersive natural experience surrounded by tranquil views and local birdlife. With two entrances from Channel Highway, there is also ample parking for several vehicles. A place to retreat, relax and just be, words don't adequately capture the true essence of Whitby Farm as an exceptional, unique and picturesque waterside hideaway.
